The Reds beat Spartak Moscow 2-0 at Prenton Park on Wednesday.

Brewster told referee Mohammed Al-Hakim about the incident of abuse, and the club have also lodged a formal complaint with UEFA.

Liverpool under-19 coach Steven Gerrard did not comment further after the match, saying: "It's difficult for me to comment on it right now. It's something that the club will look into and deal with. I'd rather talk about Rhian Brewster's performance.
